Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

Hypertension, 2014
See related article, p 783–789 Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common form of secondary hypertension accounting for ≈10% of patients referred to hypertension clinics and as high as 20% of those with refractory hypertension.1 The most important causes of PA are idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA), also called bilateral zona glomerulosa ...

Mass Spectrometric Measurements of 11‐Deoxycortisol, Androstenedione and Dehydroepiandrosterone Are Superior to Cortisol to Assess Selectivity of Non‐Stimulated Adrenal Vein Sampling

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 10-18, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Successful adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is traditionally assessed using the ratio of cortisol in adrenal to peripheral venous plasma to calculate the selectivity index. With mass spectrometry other steroids can be simultaneously measured that may improve numbers of apparent successful sampling procedures.

Predicting Significant Blood Pressure Reduction Through Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treated With Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January 2026.
CPAP therapy induces a modest reduction in blood pressure among patients with OSA. Patients with a baseline 24‐h MAP of ≥ 96 mmHg experience greater absolute and relative reductions in all blood pressure measures after CPAP treatment than those with a lower MAP. ABSTRACT Objective Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep

Eplerenone improves kidney function and cardiac performance in obese male mice

Diabetic Medicine, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Aims Renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) activation mediates obesity‐associated cardiorenal dysfunction. Due to an incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms, the clinical use of RAAS antagonism in obesity‐associated cardiometabolic complications remains uncertain.

Adrenal vein sampling for primary aldosteronism: a 15-year national referral center experience

Radiology and Oncology, 2020
Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is essential for diagnostics of primary aldosteronism, distinguishing unilateral from bilateral disease and determining treatment options. We reviewed the performance of AVS for primary aldosteronism at our center during first
